Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 7074 W Diversey Ave in Montclare, owned by Melinda Cheung and constructed in 1956, has experienced several notable service requests over the past year. Most concerning is the current status of two open water-related incidents from June 2026, including a water on street complaint and a sewer cleaning inspection request. The property has also faced challenges with sanitation, as evidenced by two garbage cart maintenance issues in April and one rodent-related complaint in May 2026. The building's record shows a total of 13 service requests in the past seven years, with the majority of recent complaints (April - June 2026) focusing on water management and waste maintenance. While some issues have been resolved, including the April garbage cart maintenance and May rodent complaint, the persistence of water-related problems and the presence of multiple service requests in a short timeframe suggest ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges at this location.

Risk rating

How 7074 W Diversey Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
